Positive contribution by international students
The Southern Institute of Technology, and in particular, the Invercargill
Campus, are proud to have a large number of international students.
International students should, among all
students, be welcomed with open arms
for they bring not only their talents but
so much more.
In 2010, Invercargill was home to 581
international students which was
beneficial to Invercargill, Southland and
beyond both in terms of culture and
economy.
In 2012, it had grown to 770 international
students and by 2013, that total was
expected to rise by 10 percent.
Over the year of 2010-2011, international
students generated $7.5 million in gross
domestic product to Invercargill City, and
as a result of this spending, 61 ETE s were
employed.
The total economic impact of
international student spending on the
economy of Invercargill was sizeable and
many businesses benefited from their
stay.
International students spend their money
in a variety of industries outside of
education and course related costs. For
example, there is expenditure on food -
not only in the supermarkets around
town, but also in the hospitality industry.
In terms of accommodation, many
students live in student accommodation
such as halls of residence, home stays or
flatting with friends.
Many also choose to either rent or buy
their own homes depending on the length
of their stay - benefiting the housing
market.
With the big shift to study in New Zealand
- and closer to home - Invercargill, many
international students brought families,
partners and friends.
Although they do not directly benefit
SIT s gross domestic product, their
presence impacted the Invercargill
economy.
The training undergone by these
international students lift the skill base of
the individual, improves their ability to
complete tasks through specialisation
and improves productivity by increasing
comparative advantage.
Further, the indirect benefits of
international students studying at SIT in
Invercargill that should be noted are
social and community aspects.
For example, international students may
create a great cultural diversity in the
community.
It also may increase awareness among
potential international students at SIT of
Invercargill and the Southland region, and
what this area has to offer.
Overall, international students studying at
SIT in Invercargill make a positive
contribution to the Invercargill City,
Southland Region, and New Zealand
economies in terms of output, GDP and
employment, but the training they are
undertaking is having a positive impact
on their skills and productivity and lifting
the wider skill base.
So while the international students give
so much to the wider community, SIT
have been giving something back to all
the students. This comes in the form of
their SIT Student Services.
It can be hard to be a student, but with a
wide range of free services available, SIT
hope to help those who need it.
The SIT Library, Sports Activities, Sports
Enquiries and Employment Assistance,
The Learning Assistance Unit, Tertiary
Chaplaincy, Free bus rides, music
concerts, counselling, health nurse,
disability liaison, Tauira Tautoko are just a
few of the wide range of options available
to suit your changing needs.
